The subjugator-s good name for it-may
not keep down unruly HAIR nor is it intended
for any such purpose, but its nature is to sub
jugate pain in any form, to subdue, to con-

such soothing influence that the muscles or
nerves when cured feel like silk.

gauze: the brim is admiral blue velvet,
and the front trimming consists of loops
of blue ribbon, gold lace, and two tiny
quivering blue and gold humming birds.
To wear with a street tailor-made
toilet in two shades of brown, a pretty
turban is of brown fancy rough straw,
trimmed with light brown Grape and a
bunch of yellow primroses. The coronet
brim is smoothly covered with brown
velvet.
The black lace costume seems to have
come to STAY, and vies with the long
popular black silk for dressy wear. For
visiting, church, afternoon receptions,
teas, ETC., it is extremely graceful and
appropriate, the transparent, filmy mate
rial making it particularly suitable to
summer, though these dresses are worn
in the depth of winter with the addition
of handsome wrap of velvet or plush.
They are made over silk foundation,
generally satin merveilleux, MORE or
surah. The draperies and founces are
mounted on the skirt so as almost en-
tirely to conceal It, A word of advice,
however, is necessary as to the making
of the bodice, which should in no case
have lace under the arm nor tightly
drawn over the elbow, as it is
sure to wear out almost at once. Have
as much lace drapery as you like over
the front and down the back of the
basque, loose pulled lace sleeves to the
elbow over close ones of silk, lace
covered collar and cuff, but make the
portions mentioned of silk.

The girls looked on in breathless expect

and shook out at last the folds of filmy
lace-trimmed white null dress.
''How lovely how exquisite! The lace is
real !' came from them in excited tones.
"Gaze upon this picture, then upon that"

Whereupon that young lady seized the
scissors and a shoe, and began immediate
operations.

Allie ghast. The girls stood still mo-
ment in shocked silence.
"Those fatal hickory nuts!" said Bessie,
''they were always getting me into trouble,
and have made me tell on myself now"
Then she broke into ripping laugh, in
which the others joined.
''She has gone," said Allie with sigh of
relief; IT hear the fall of her fairy feet"
'No more guessing, jeanne dear, | beg"
said Sallie ''it is charming, but the retiring
bell will soon ring and our banquet will not
have begun"
So after that each box was handed out for
immediate inspection. The first held Boston
crack ers. which Bessie remarked were quite
an improvement upon hard tack.'' The
next held nuts, raisins and bon-bons, and
the third a cake of maple sugar, which
comestible the girls had never before seen.
Fortunately the box was marked or they
would not have recognized its contents.

silk. Three double box pleats of lustrous
black satin rhadames extend down over
it, one in the middle of the front and one
at either side Ties of ribbon of pale
green shade with long loops and ends
fall over the lace pleatings.
The back is covered by very
full lace drapery. The bodice of satin
rhadames is sharply pointed and has
full plastron of lace and narrow revers
of satin rhadames over lace that is
shirred into the shoulders and drawn
down under them. The sleeves are close
fitting and have lace cuff. The bonnet
is black lace, with cleft coronet brim
of black velvet and trimming of lace and
pale green ribbon. The parasol is covered
with black lace and has decorations of
pale or cen bows, and the gloves are OF

with black. The ribbon decorations
may be varied in color as it suits the
fancy of the wearer, affording indefinite
variety and the same costume. Prim-

ably used in this way-a list that will
give some idea of the vivid colors worn.

'Three cheers for the Union officer" cried
Sallie, enthusiastically and the girls re-
sponded with three hearty pantomimic
cheers.
Now, JEAN" said Allie between bites, ''do
you really suppose that all this luxury cost
but $5?'
"Oh, no! mamma has added to that
amount without doubt. The lace on my

probably mounted up to $12."

The box had arrived. Jeanne saw it at
noon in the hall, as she passed to the dining
room.
How her eyes sparkled as she read her
name inscribed upon it in large black let
tiers!
II will send you a few articles" her
mother had written, (Which l bought in
Vicksburg, after passing through the
enemy's lines. You will enjoy their novelty,
am sure" And this was the only clue to
the interesting contents.
Bessie Devine, in whose arm her own was
linked, had also seen the box, and Jeanne
fancied slight shade of disdain had passed
over that young persons expressive features
on noting its size.
"Ahp' thought Jean, Bessie is thinking
of her own last box from home, with its
gallon of parched and hulled peanuts, its
peck of hickory nuts, chincapins and chest
nuts, its baked sweet potatoes, buttered while
hot, its Confederate fruit cake, made with
spice and minced dried apples, its ham, its
JEFF Davis pies and beat biscuits. Of course
it was an elegant box and very large, but

How YEARLY the afternoon dragged by!
Would its tagging hours never pass?
Instead of solving the problems for the last
hours recitation, Jean spent the study-time
in drawing a picture 1t represented her
mother sitting very erect on woodenly con-
structed horse, presenting slip of paper to
a soldier whose aspect was one of exceeding
ferceness. In the background other fierce
looking soldiers were grouped. This scene
bore the legend, Mother Passing Through
the Lines"
Half-past four! and school was out at last
The day scholars filed off down the long
terraced walk, and the boarders through the
wide breezy corridor.
'sNow for few blissful moments before
evening exercise" said Jean, as with Bessie
Devine, and her two other roommates, the
twin sisters, Allie and Sallie Demarcus, she
sped swiftly to her room on the second floor.
The box sat just within the door with its
lid partially lifted. Jeanie's fingers trembled
as she turned back the protecting papers.
And now her eyes danced with delight as
they fell upon pair of dainty little slippers.
"Just look, girls, just look!" she cried;
''isn't this splendid, after siege of wearing
boys shoes, odd shoes, shoes couple of
sizes too large, carpet shoes, cowhide shoes
and so on? I think must try them on at
once"

chorus; 'they are lovely, but we can't wait

wrapper.

held up before the admiring group yellow

mesh.
